The 'dark streaks & discoloration' that we often refer to is a growth known as gloeocapsa magma. It is a photosynthetic cyanobacteria consisting of a small group of algae spores and is often referred to as algae. This organic growth feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingle roofs, creating an ideal environment for lichen and moss. It also blackens the roof shingles, holds moisture, and is known to survive harsh climates and conditions.

Lichen is a slow-growing, low profile plant that forms a thin, leafy crust on rocks, trees, and other surfaces. As you may have guessed by now, this includes your roof! Aside from being unsightly on a clay, tile, or metal roof, lichen can cause more significant damages when allowed to heavily infest an asphalt shingle roof. This growth will loosen shingle granules and accelerate the deterioration of the roof by exposing the asphalt beneath. It also holds moisture against the surface and should be professionally removed in order to protect your roof. Lichen should not be removed by force, but chemical treated with our soft roof washing process.
Roof moss can be highly localized and usually grows on the shady and damp areas of the roof. Roof moss begins as a dusting of green along the edges of the shingles that's usually only visible from a low angle. Left unattended, this moss can spread across the surface to become wide, thick, and mat-like. Roof moss will begin to root into the shingle and holds moisture against the roof.
'Algae', Lichen, and Moss growth is not only unsightly to many, but it is feeding on your roof. Contact us today for a quote on professional moss removal and soft roof washing.
Our roof cleaning process is manufacturer recommended and applicable to a wide variety of roofing materials. If there is heavy growth on the roof, then we'll typically begin with a light moss removal followed by a soft roof washing. Our blend of chemicals and surfactants is adjusted to an appropriate concentration for the job at hand and applied to the affected roof areas with low pressure. Dark streaks and discoloration will vanish immediately, while heavier growth will be allowed to weather away naturally. Material that remains attached to the roof will not be forced off with agitation or pressure, however we guarantee the cleaning process to be effective, and we'll apply additional treatments as needed at no additional cost.
Our roof washing solution is designed to rid your roof of organic growth in order to restore the aesthetic and extend its lifespan.
